Monday's Sound Off

Philadelphia had the Teflon Don, we have the Teflon president. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, bad economy - nothing sticks to him. Everything is the Republicansí fault. Time for a change folks.

I think it is absurd that Gov. Corbett turned over the Pennsylvania Lottery to a British company, Camelot Global Services. I for one will never ever spend one penny on the Pennsylvania Lottery again. First of all, itís a billion to one shot that youíll ever hit anything big. Second, now that a British company took over, Iím sure never to play it again. Hope everybody else stops playing it too.

Iíve heard about the British company taking over the Pennsylvania Lottery so now when we have the lottery commercials are we going to have people with British accents? How about Gus the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania, is he now going to have a British accent? Unless itís up to like 300 million I might buy a ticket but otherwise Iím done. Itís a Pennsylvania Lottery, not a British Pennsylvania lottery.

To Cinderella about the soot on her glass fireplace doors, unfortunately thatís just build up and thereís not too much you can do. I will before I build a fire clean my fireplace glass with multi-purpose cleaner, Windex, whatever and just clean it off and burn your fire. Youíll get a couple uses out of it but if you close your doors and burn with your doors closed and donít have a screen, not too much you can do. So clean it before you use it.

THE WICKED EVIL STEPMOTHER

Decades ago in Alabama Gov. George Wallace claimed he would not have lotteries in that state because he considered them a poor manís tax. People in need were the ones who played the lottery, not the ones who had multi-millions. Now our governor wants to sell it to a private enterprise so we can get those billions now. But how much of a kickback is he going to get?

Politicians pass laws like dogs pass wind, without any particular regard to the consequences.

MARK FURLONG

Iím wondering what good a ban on guns will do at this time as there are enough guns already sold at these big gun shows to kill everyone in the U.S. Weíre closing the barn door after the horse has left.

People who rent do pay school taxes; itís figured into the rent. Thatís why the rent on these apartments is 600 to $700 a month. The taxes are figured in. The landlord doesnít pay the school taxes, the renter does.

The American Lung Assoc. gave Pennsylvania an F grade on tobacco use. Pennsylvania deserves the grade because it is the only state in the union that doesnít tax cigars and smokeless tobacco. Stop lung cancer.

For the person complaining about renters, I am a renter. My kids are also out of school but I still pay school taxes. Whatís with some of these homeowners that whenever they have problems with their taxes, itís the rentersí fault? If you think the grass is greener on the other side, you have the option to sell your house and rent one instead.

As usual there are people making comments who donít know what theyíre talking about. I live in Douglassville for 23 years and I pay school taxes every year to Daniel Boone. So donít bother putting comments unless you get the facts straight.

THE KING

To Read Something and the Obama Voter who said Obama gave us a 2 percent raise in 2010, what about 2008 and 2009? Obama gave us zero percent.

Does everyone out there know that Welfare got a big raise and I mean a big one? We working people get minus 2 percent so they can sit home, have their babies, their cars, their food, everything while we are working and they sit and laugh because they think we owe it to them. Really?

TOTALLY DISGUSTED

Why is it everybody is talking about President Obama? I think he did a better job than Bush did - he cheated twice to get into the presidency thanks to the help of his brother Jeb. And his dad thinks he wants to see Jeb in office, I donít think so. We voted Republican but no more.

BYE REPUBLICANS

Remember Arizona? President Obama didnít stop illegal immigrants from bringing in guns and drugs. Nip it in the bud.

To the people who express their political views in Sound Off, are you also contacting the various politicians and talking to them? I am sick of reading your opinions. Why not use Sound Off for some public good such as good restaurants, events, tips, to actually help. Keep your opinions to yourself and anyone who wants to listen to them.
